How gentle God's commands

1How gentle God's commands!
How kind his precepts are!
Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,
And trust his constant care.

2Beneath his watchful eye
His saints securely dwell;
That hand which bears all nature up
Shall guard his children well.

3Why should this anxious load
Press down your weary mind?
Haste to your heavenly Father's throne,
And sweet refreshment find.

4His goodness stands approved
Through each succeeding day;
I'll drop my burden at his feet,
And bear a song away.
